Muesli

Jump to Recipe

Okay, technically this is a muesli “style” cereal. I have made a few adjustments to make it more to my liking. I sweeten mine slightly, add a touch of oil and bake until toasty.

Start with old fashioned oats. This will be your base. To this you can add anything you feel inclined to add. I added pepitas, pecans and unsweetened coconut. Other add ins could be craisins, raisins, any other nuts or seeds etc.

Next, drizzle with a touch of maple syrup and some type of fat. I used melted butter, but olive oil, coconut oil or even canola would have been fine.

Make sure and mix well at this point. Although it is a very small amount of sweetener and oil, you will want to make sure and get as much coverage as possible.

Bake until golden brown. I love the toasty, nutty flavor it gives.

Allow to cool.

I love mine layered with fresh fruit and vanilla nonfat almond milk. Yum!!

This is the perfect way to start your day! So healthy, quick and totally nutritious!

Great for a busy morning and still maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Here I am, post photo shoot. My youngest loves to grab sneak shots of me. Stuffed cheeks and all . :)Both my boys do a lot of the photography for me. Any process shots you see with me in them, they have taken. Not bad for a 15 and 11 year old, right??
